The deactivations for the July activity check have been completed with list cleanup underway; for reactivations, please post in Maintenence.

International OutpostThe International Outpost has been created directly to the north of the small village of Irvingly. A path has been created between the two for easier travel. It is about a days walk, however a carriage line has been set up for those who can afford it to minimize travel times. Those who are able also have the option to fly from Irvingly to the Outpost or apparate. Irvingly's law against public magic must be observed by all travelers. A prairie field has been cleared. Tents have been erected for the international players and spectators, segregated into sections by country. The tents belonging to the teams are notably marked by having their country's flag printed on the side, though the spectators' tents are varied in both size and style.

The MarketVendors from countries worldwide have set up shop in the clearing of a meadow. Placed conveniently between the pitch and the international outpost, the market is a sight to behold. Exotic pets, alcohol tents, small circus acts, quidditch suppliers and more can be purchased here. Certain corners are more moral than others and in the evenings, it's generally best for children and proper ladies to stay home.

The World Cup Quidditch PitchThe StandsNewly built and quite similar in design to the Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch, the World Cup Pitch is made from the wood of the trees of Hawthorne Hollow and is the largest pitch in Britain. The freshness of the pine clings heavily to the air. Relatively quiet and plain when not in use, during games banners of the teams playing are scattered everywhere and the noise of the crowd is nearly deafening. The stands that surround the pitch are so tall that they are rumored to be prone to lightning strikes. Private boxes are located at the perfect height for those lucky enough to have them, while those with lesser money also get to see less action in the lower section of the stands.
